Jay. Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I know mate - cheers Basically he bent the arch down with a pair of mole grips, ripped all the sealant out & hammered it back into place, can't tell from the outisde & clearance is amazing now, you can actually get your finger betweeen the arch & tyre!

DJC1980 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 That was handy..Nothing worse than having to wath every bump incase it rubs..I might just get mine done before i even get the wheels on cause il defo have to get them done anyway.

DJC1980 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Jay have you ever tried running 215 35 tires instead of 40s? Im ordering tires in the next few days but im debating on what size..I know some guys run 35's on style 32s.Im thinking they will give me that extra bit of clearance.

Jay. Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yeah i seeen some guy in ireland did but personally i think it would be too much of a stretch & its even lower to the floor then, its bad enough as it is on 40's but on 35's its just too much of a head ache i think S'up to you tho!

LJColeman Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I was also thinking this, as I have 225/40 on the front of my 32's and there's no stretch at all and there quite chunky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC1980 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 yeah thats true..I just dont want rubbing on the rear arches..Had all the carry on with my old saxo vtr about 10 years ago lol..Do you still get rubbing with the arches rolled? I never really take people in the back of my car so it wil never be loaded with weight in the rear.Sorry for all the questions,just want to make sure i do things right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 falken 215 40's are the best as they give a little stretch on the front the continental 215 40 is massive & looks chunky, bit the bullet this morning & ordered one brand new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay. Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Makes sense as a random part worn would have been 40 ish & this was 90 delivered I've had a quote for it to be filled & sprayed for £90 also but money's propper tight with eveerything i've spent on it over the last weeks so i'm gonna leave it for now.
